Qatar’s
Planning and Statistics Authority (PSA) released data on Wednesday predicting that trade
will maintain an upward trend throughout the remainder of 2022, and 2023 as
well, with Qatari and Jordanian private sectors making a significant
contribution.
Jordan exports
to Qatar mainly vegetables, fruits, meat, dates, cheeses, milk, meat, poultry,
grains, sweets, cakes, rice, juices, nuts, oils, ghee, pickles, herbs, honey,
coffee, and eggs.
Qatar exports to
Jordan automobile lubricants, sulfonic acid, aluminum briquettes, paraffin,
polyethylene, iron rods, chemical fertilizers, plastic bags, organic
fertilizers, medical solutions, in addition to some commodities and food
products.
In the past 10
years, trade between the two countries exceeded 11.5 billion riyals ($3.17
billion), according to PSA figures.
Between 2012 and 2017, Qatar’s exports to Jordan totaled
5.35 billion riyals, while imports reached 2.44 billion riyals, leaving Qatar
with a 2.91 billion riyal surplus. However, a 1 billion riyal surplus shifted
in Jordan’s favor from 2018 to 2021 as 1.2 billion riyals in exports from Qatar
were offset by 2.2 billion riyals in imports.
